Gerry, perhaps you weren't involved last time. Being fair to Jim, he has 
organised the last book and this next entirely on his own
(but with LUG approval and enthusiasm) and participation (and any purchase) 
is completely voluntary.  The book is self published and
print on demand. It might sell 60 or 60,000 copies! Much of the photography 
we see on the LUG every day is by people with a variety
of cameras who have an interest in Leica equipment. That is the nature of 
the LUG. The best way to fly the flag is to post beautiful
pictures made with your Leica gear. Those waverers who also use OT equipment 
will see the superiority of the Leica pictures ;-).
Obviously people might submit any picture with any supporting info they 
choose. Many of those submitting last year are known on-line
to each other and share the benefits of the LUG community. Translation, we 
know the true believers and who uses what OT gear. I
don't know how they sleep at night ;-) 

Cheers
Hoppy

If this is the rule then I may enter something but personally I think
it is WRONG!! Would you expect to pick up a Ford brochure and find
Dodge pictures in it because "we liked them better"? It is, after all,
the LEICA User Group.
